Nice! @Eric Sarjeant if you get an ala carte price list published for all the different build add-on options you are offering, the other Toyota dealers may as well give up on selling new to Enthusiasts
i strongly second this!!!

umm.. i don't understand and admit that I do not know the exact locking mechanism workings as far as the internals are concerned, but, you press a button to lock the center diff no??
An electric motor actuates a collar that locks the front and rear drive lines together.
So technically it is an e-locker, even if it’s not an aftermarket part.

my exact thoughts!! thx for confirmation....
you're splitting hairs. Lets admire another well executed build from Eric. He is making 200s the way they should be
an eLocker is a a type of locker that acuates a magnetic ring to engage the locking mechanism and is made by Harrop (an Eaton company) and TJM use a similar system.
The center diff lock uses a solinoid to engage but it’s not an eLocker, but is electronicly engaged. Arb use air so it’s an air locker. Some of the old Quadra track keeps had a air (vacuum) center diff lock but weren’t air lockers either. When you said eLocker I was wondering what sort of upgrade was done to enable that as I’d never heard of it before.
as above, I thought he may have found an upgrade I didn’t have. Haha. No heat in my comments. It’s an awesome car for sure.
FZJ80s came with front and rear diff locks here in 93, though I doubt many people were doing much off-road and discussing it online with models of that price point.
Toyota introduced electric locking differentials (with no magnetic ring) on the “TRD off-road” package Tacoma pickups in 1998 and at least here in the states we’ve been calling those “e-lockers” since at least then.
Harrop may have trademarked the term or something but I doubt they beat that timeframe in terminology. It is absolutely appropriate to call a 200 CDL an elocker IMO.
I learn something new everyday!! thx for the info!!
Is there a write up on how to do this? I searched but couldn't find anything.
How much of the 2020 front drive-train did you need to replace with previous model-year's parts to fit the front e-locker?
looks great - again, life would have been easier if I lived nearer indianapolis...
I think you are asking the wrong person. I am guessing you mean @Eric Sarjeant . he should be able to answer that better. I am here to gain as much knowledge as I can before I take the plunge.
The Harrop vendor can probably answer that best. I think there is a thread here on e-lockers that spells it out maybe with picturea.

I don't know of a write up on this yet. It's tricky the first time because you can change the model year in various areas in tech stream, you just need to change it in the remote start lines.
all good bud, it’s more likely just something lost is translation between our countries. We have the electronic lockers in the 80’s as well as the 70 series. We just don’t call them a eLocker. Still an awesome build.

Quick follow up to the placement of the rock lights on the Rainy Day Build. We pulled the lights off the sliders and fabbed up some metal brackets to use in the existing bolts from the factory steps. Then tacked in the holes with a welder, polished smooth and painted flat black to match.
